The oldest healing tradition in the world is shamanism. It is primitive. It is primal. It is a powerful practice. Today it would also be classified by such names as “holistic healing”, or “integrative medicine”. My beloved calls it “Harmonic Infusion.” I have been led to call it “Primordial Healing.” Some time ago, I read an article entitled, Birthing as a Shamanic Experience by Leslie McIntyre. In the article, it was stated that when a woman gives birth naturally, she is between two worlds: the world of life and the world of death. This, in and of itself, is a Shamanic experience. It led me to do more research into the world of the female shaman,[..]

The ancient peoples of Europe were more fond of masks and religious ritual than youwould suspect if you saw Europeans today. Mask wearing and shamanism was partand parcel of everyday life in ancient Western European tradition, say researchers. There are stories abound about African and North American tribal shamans but not alot is known about ancient European peoples' involvement with masked ritual or thepractice of magic. That is why finding out about similarities between the ideas behindmasks from around the world and those originating from European soil, is adiscovery of intriguing and real beliefs. The less obvious link of European societies with shamanism or religious ritual thanfor[..]

Do you think you could you resist a special invitation to a magickal gathering under a full moon in Hawai'i? I certainly could not. And in this story, I invite you along to a chance to wish for what you want, a chance to explore new mystical territory, and a chance to learn how to expand our own boundaries. There are many magicks in The Islands, but a special few know the truths of goodness and light. Sacred are certain sites in this land of aloha, and respect is paid in full by we the people... Thus I share with you this virginal experience - a night sure to be magickally remembered by us all... When our close friend, DJ, asked my wife & I if we would like to document an assembly of[..]

Central to this post is a symbol. A five pointed star, frequently referred to as a pentacle. No symbol has been the subject of more misinformation, disinformation and superstitious conjecture than the pentacle. Some Christians claim it is a symbol of the devil. Others associate it with diabolism and black magic. The truth is much less sensational. The five pointed star isn't a symbol exclusive to pagans. It has a long history. The pentacle or pentagram symbolizes the elements of nature and the spirit that animates creation.The upper point symbolizes spirit, and the four other points - the elements of earth, water, fire and air respectively. That's as sinister as it gets. No devil or[..]

Wicca symbols have been with us for centuries but are still as relevant to modern day Pagans and Wiccans as they ever were. Although there is some variation in the symbols from group to group, they are more often consistent in the conditions that they represent than not. This is an article on some of the most popular and potent symbols, which I have chosen because to me, they most strongly embody Wicca and what it stands for. One of the most instantly recognisable of Wicca symbols is that of the pentacle - also known as the Witch's Foot. It is a 5 point star in a circle and each point represents (going clockwise and starting at the top): The Spirit Earth Air Fire Water The circle around[..]

Many people, in particular teenagers and college students, are interested in third eye meditation. What is third eye meditation? How do you practice it? The practice of third eye meditation is very easy to understand. On your forehead, above your nose and in between your eyebrows, is a spot which is often called the "third eye." In third eye meditation, you concentrate on that spot with concentrated visualization. The purpose is to bring chi or prana to a dormant chakra, or energy center, which is located right at that spot. When it opens we say that you have tentatively succeeded at third eye meditation. The visualization that you perform on this spot is usually a picture of a little[..]

One issue that all those who practice magick should be aware of is safety. In working with witchcraft, you are opening yourself up to some powerful forces and it is important that you do so wisely, and take measures to ensure that you are not harmed. The first way to stay safe is to always remember the Wiccan Rede andthe threefold law. The Wiccan Rede states, "An ye harm none, do what ye will." Basically this means that you cannot do anything that would harm another. This is asimple rule and an excellent one to follow. By using this as a guide in all of yourmagickal workings, you ensure that you are not crossing the boundary betweengood/white magick and bad/black magick. The Rede is[..]

There is a wealth of information on the Internet and in bookstores currently regarding what is to occur on December 21, 2012 and what one needs to do to "prepare for 2012". Certainly, there are rare astronomical alignments occurring (that were predicted by the Mayans over 2000 years ago) that have, until recently, been ignored by the scientific community. For example, the effects of the configuration of the solar system as well as energy impulses from the center of the galaxy have been completely downplayed. This is understandable, given the old paradigm (of a random, mechanistic universe) that orthodox science lives and operates in, as well as technological knowledge and advances that[..]

Wikipedia's definition of a Rain Dance: "A rain dance is a ceremonial dance that is performed in order to invoke rain and to ensure the protection of the harvest. Rain dances can be found in many cultures, from Ancient Egypt to certain Native American tribes. They could still be found in the 20th century Balkans , in a ritual known as Paparuda (Romanian) or Perperuna (Slavic). The traditional Native American Cherokee tribe performed rain dances to both induce precipitation from clouds as well as cleanse evil spirits [1] . Cherokee legend says that the summoned rain contains the spirits of dead Chiefs who upon awakening from the clouds battle evil spirits in the transitional plane between[..]

Omega is a Mecca for Spiritual Seekers all over the world who come there to commune with others on the spiritual path. Everyone there has a commonality: they are seeking community and connection with one another and with the larger whole.

On your quest for spiritual truth, the last thing you need is misinformation. Unfortunately, today’s New Age market is full of dead ends. We list below the definitions of key spiritual terms, according to our empirical research since the 1980s, to help you cut through the cosmic debris and follow the most authentic spiritual path possible. Fate: Here’s a word that is often distorted beyond recognition. It actually means the same as destiny. You’ve likely heard the phrase, “You can’t cheat fate.” We can’t emphasize enough how true we’ve found this to be, always. It would probably be easier to stop time. You’ve also probably heard the phrase “nothing is set in stone.”[..]

My life has been one of spiritual awakening. As I look back on my life I see the struggle in being led by the things that made the body feel good, against the leadings that were telling me the right thing to do. Oh what a battle, and it still goes on. I'm choosing to do the things that make me shine with goodness. I've chosen to continuously become more spiritual by transforming my way of being. I'm not saying I'm all good however, I feel it more when I don't bring my true nature in the experience. You see, I'm really working on changing my self not only for myself but for the good of humanity as well. I'm not the only one going through the changes that causes one to choose to do good[..]

We know from a scientific perspective that we have 2 strands of DNA, however, from a metaphysical perspective it is said that we have 12 strands of DNA Ten of these strands are latent, waiting to be activated, like Sleeping Beauty waiting for a kiss from the Prince. Many books have been written exploring this concept of DNA 12 Strand activation including 'The Power of Twelve' by Anne Brewer. In this book she shares a long and quite complicated process that she went through to awaken her DNA, and makes that procedure available to her readers. Dr Joshua David Stone also writes about DNA Activation in his series of books on Ascension. His process is simpler, he said that we can ask our[..]

Evolution is the movement of energy toward a higher expression or manifestation of a higher complex structure. Energy is always kinetic, though it may appear at times to be static or potential; it is constantly in movement, ceaselessly forming and transforming its structure into something that it was not before. Thus, whatever appears as form, as an energy-structure, is always in a state of flux or becoming. This may not be apparent outwardly to the senses, but it is inherently so in the atomic and subatomic levels. This becoming may result in an improvement or degradation of what it was before. Nature always work along the lines of evolution, even if degradation or involution seems to[..]

Before Psychology and Religion, there was Us and our Dreams - As we stand on the proscenium of the Future, in the 21st Century's front door, it is useful to remember that Humans are not our things, not our technologies, not our web, nor our electronic codes. We are not the New Age. We are not all the research locked up in endless hard drives. We are ourselves. Our Psyche, our Hearts and our Souls. We are walking around creatures who think and feel and get worn out at the end of the day, then we lie ourselves down and sleep. And then by some recuperative magic, we billions, we "happy few" have dream lives that somehow restore us so we can rise and do it all again. Dreams were at the dawn[..]

Looking for something a little different for your shaman? Is Enhancement boring you, or maybe you just want a change of pace for a while? This elemental shaman leveling spec should do the trick. I've picked the talents I think are most useful for a leveling shaman, not necessarily the best DPS talents; for example, it is impractical to use totems while leveling, so I have skipped Totem of Wrath.

Raiding in World of Warcraft has always played a very large role in creating the allure and continuity for WoW players. Undoubtedly without raiding content many players would have quit the game due to lack of content. This article hopes to provide insight into the raiding environment of vanilla WoW. Raiding in vanilla WoW consisted of 40 man and 25 man raids. The premium 40 man raids involved large communities (mostly guilds) working together to conquer challenging Player vs Environment (PvE) content. Noticeable differences between vanilla and the current state of WoW deserve to be mentioned in order to highlight the differences between them. 1) Warriors as the only tanking class - as[..]

Blizzard has designed World of Warcraft so that each class is (to an extent) balanced and not overpowered. Tweaks and fixes are constantly made to classes' abilities and talents to ensure that World of Warcraft is a fair game. So which race should you choose? When compared to other MMORPG's, World of Warcraft offers very few classes to choose from. Each have unique traits and abilities that define their playability, enjoyment and importance in group combat. Factions would be completely unbalanced if either were to lose a class, so each one is highly valued in the land of Azeroth. They include (available on both factions): The Warrior The warrior is, without doubt, the most powerful class[..]
